Typhoon Tip Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Yeah here is the real estate map raw prices....Hinhgam looks mad expensive, lol: Isn't it almost amusingly predictable how the higher monies are hued into the regions most prone to storm tidal concerns... ? I mean.... wasn't Hingham right up there in headline counts ...oh circa February 8th, 1978?? Yet, through the decades of ZYZYGY's, and Sandy's... the pure dumb luck of sea-level rise and mega storms simply dice rolling their way around that layout on the map, has left some kind of oblivious value system for that real estate. Maybe that is what really drives the Meteorologist apparent "lust" for dramatic weather and destruction. It's not that we want to see people actually physically maimed, or are even indifferent to dismantling of property ... it's really that on some unconscious babble level we are put off by the assumption/entitlement and like it when Nature usurps her decision to expose the vapidity of man. Kind of reminds me MacBeth, '...Struts and frets his hour upon the stage, then is heard no more. It is a tale. Told by and idiot, full of sound and fury, ... just before the idiot's conceits and hubris blithely slide into an oceanic tumult tantalizing us with equal entertaining visual spectacles... ' Or how about Merry Shelly, "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Fittingly ... the last stanza reads something about nothing else remaining beyond a colossus of a wreck but a barren landscape stretching far and wide.. Ha, it should apply to Hingham ...and Donald Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I've been there and have friends who live there...Durango is a great town. Not a ton of snowfall in the town itself, but drive a couple miles up the road towards Durango Mountain Resort and they get plenty of snow. I got to witness a 4 foot snowstorm there (San Juan moisture special) where it was mixed rain and snow in Durango...you'd get a few wet inches overnight then it'd go to rain during the day, then back to snow at night, etc. While the whole time the ski resort was just getting annihilated with a firehose of moisture out of the SW. But man what a great outdoor orientated community. However you'll see a very different type of clientele then here in the east. Their prime tourist is the great American Texan. There are Texan's and cowboy hats everywhere. Its a totally different vibe than here in the northeast, haha. If I was going out there, I'd move to Silverton or Telluride...they get hammered....or just make sure you get a place in Durango that is 1500 feet above the town, lol.

I have long always thought there was an amusing irony to the constant talk of the vulnerability of certain regions and yet we continue to build there like mad and sell those properties like they are going out of style.

Yeah I remember fairly steady condo and residential neighborhoods on the road from Durango town to the ski resort. My friend's lived somewhere in the middle and got plenty of snow, but also had winter rain in some of the higher snow levels because its so far south in latitude. You really want to be 8,000ft or higher down there. Crested Butte is another I'd love to try. The town seems so cool and they are high enough to have quite the long snow season...even town will see snowflakes September through May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 A lot of Hingham is well above flood zone though. There are the typical mansions near the water, but you would need a Sandy type storm coming in from Boston Harbor to flood that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Crested Butte is almost at 9,000 feet in town...that town has a very long snow season. No worries about rain mixing in there during winter.

Just a matter of time brotha - Buuut, ...I also think from 50,000 feet that map still argues for pin-head disrespect of the elements. I suppose to be fair,... if x, y, z's hubris castle is shown to be built up 50 feet high on a granite outcrop and therefore, barring a Canary Island bifurcation event is not likely to be tsunamied off the face of the Earth... okay, but too many of those over-priced greed based bullschit zones are disrespectful to nature.

powderfreak Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Quite a few years since a region-wide big March. This year was very good for NYC-PHL area, last year for NNE, but each year was mediocre for many. March 2014 saved that winter in NNE from being a total abortion. A couple big snow events and record cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 La La Land looking more like fall. gfs_namer_360_850_temp_mslp_precip.gif It's been doing that for a while... Actually, just about 5 days ago the GFS lube-up ranges started imposing actual winter at those time ranges... Seems every year the extended models blowup the aroma of seasonal change into an actual planetary event like that .. but then, as said range gets nearer, we simply have the season's first oscillation into a crispy ness that 's entirely climate friendly. Having said that, this years lube-ups have been some of the more aggressive I've ever seen. I saw some runs or members with lake effect snow machine action into the UP of Michigan PRIOR to Sept 15! woa.. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, this years lube-ups have been some of the more aggressive I've ever seen. I say one with lake effect snow machine action into the UP of Michigan PRIOR to Sept 15! woa.. . They are fun to look at this time of year moreso than other times of the year...the entertainment value is very fun watching those first vestiges of cold season moving south in Canada and into the northern tier. Always tempers with time, but some of those late run shenanigans are fun to look at when big lows get wrapped up in the Plains and that first tug of the "blue line" comes south.

Well in the near future...say under the next 50-75 yrs...it will be ok. The Cape is the hot zone for that stuff. Hingham and Cohasset are rough coastline areas with not much low elevation beach front type stuff. Obviously those near estuaries and exposed to nor'easter damage could be at risk...but much of the area is well above sea level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 My forecast for tomorrow mentions heat values of 130*. Misprint? Looks like they've updating to fix it. Sometimes the tools dump in funny values if you don't have the right buttons clicked. And it's usually the max or min values allowed (-120 or +130).

40/70 Benchmark Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It's all relative, especially where you are. March 2015 certainly toned down from the insanity of Feb, but was pretty good along s coast. March 2014 was also better on s coast and Cape. But overall, both years featured a March that really pumped the brakes over a good chunk of SNE. I've head two consecutive positively dreadful months of March. TBH, 2013 is the only really good one in recent memory....back to 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I've head two consecutive positively dreadful months of March. Yeah they were certainly disappointments when comparing both February's prior. But take the winter of 11-12...we probably would have been delighted.

nzucker Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 3 plowable snow event down here last march. Definitely was nice to cash in as we missed a lot of action to our Northeast.Especially nice to cash in after missing 3 storms in March 2014 that hit the DC area very hard. Despite temperatures averaging nearly 5F below normal, I recorded but 0.5" of snowfall in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn that month. Many areas were limited to a trace in a March that had temperatures akin to February normals.2015 and 2013 both had excellent March snowfall and temperatures here. We had a solid 2' of snowpack on March 9th this past winter, and it's rare to see snow depths that significant so late in the season on the coast. 2013 didn't have the big pack, but there was the easterly tlow event that dropped 10" in Dobbs Ferry, and then a SW flow event on 3/19 that produced 5".

March 5 was a kick in the balls for me...akin to 1/21/14 to you. Yes, I know that sounds very weenie and greedy..but given that WSW snows fell 15 miles south..kind of sucks. Then again, seeing BOS get a nice 3" surprise to break the record was cool in my book. The little events at least added nice refreshers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 99. Really tough to wrap my head around that. One would wonder if vegetation or siting played a role? I've always thought that, but when you look at other temperatures around that time period, they are not abnormally warm compared to later periods. So I'm not sure there's much to it...it's possible there could be a very mild vegetation issue. Maybe there was a plowed farm upwind instead of woods...that could maybe tack on a degree....but we're talking a well-mixed airmass on the high temps.
